Answer 1

wash the car and clean the windows with some glass cleaning spray such as Windex,  you need to let fresh air in the car so the windows won't fog up

Answer 2

SLIPPING

Answer 3

If the defroster doesn't defrost when you turn it on, it may be faulty and that should be covered under a warranty. Also, its probably normal that the windows fog up in the morning and at night depending on where you live, but your defroster should still work.  

As far as your AC giving off a bad smell, I once heard my dad tell me to take any sort of pleasent spray (frebreze for me) and spray it right under the passenger side dash (the area right above the passengers feet) and turn your AC on full blast for a little bit. Also spraying directly into the vents works wonders.

If you want to be 100% sure to get the smell out, because it may be a mold problem from all the humidity you are getting from the morning and night fog, then go to your dealer because they have certain products that they hook up to your AC system that will blast the smell out of there.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

the fogging is normal but you need to make sure your windows are up when you have the defogger on. the smell is probley mildew or something which happens in moist environments like where you live. for that you need to have your ac system cleaned.

Answer 5

I cannot help you with the AC problem, so I'll say to listen to what the others have said about mildew.  As for the fogging, it may not be a fog at all.  Small cars tend to have a problem and I dealt with it just last night, what you have is moisture combining with dust and that sticks to your windshield creating a film.  When you scratch a spot on your windshield, is that scratch still there the next time you see the problem?  If so, that is the problem.  Just use some windex and a paper towel, or some specialty wipes from an auto supply store and that will relieve the problem.

Answer 6

The "pee" smell is probably normal mildew that has built up in your A/C system.  It is normal, especially depending on the climate of where you live.  Toyota recommends that you regularly use fresh air and have your air cabin filter changed during maintenance.

The fog is moisture in the air.  It's also normal.  Use the defroster and defogger with your A/C on.  The A/C system de-humidifies the air in the car, removing moisture in the air.
